I have found that my days feel much more complete and my worry levels drop when I create something every day.
Creating a new block fills the need so I've begun the Craftsy 2012 BOM quilt by Amy Gibson, author of Stitchery, Dickory, Dock on my sidebar. I haven't ever tried modern quilting so I was pleasantly surprised to find I have enjoyed making the first two blocks that she teaches. (She is doing another BOM this year, but I fell in love with this first block in her 2012 BOM.)
The asterisk block:
So somehow or other, these two blocks will look good together! Orange and green will both play prominently in the other blocks. I think.

The asterisk block:
I LOVE these two fabrics together with the green dots on blue with the green asterisk. This is my favorite shade of green. Originally I planned to make this green the background color tying the whole quilt together. I changed my mind when I realized I'm going to make a Crosswalk quilt with green as the predominant color so while all of these blocks will work together and I will use green in many of the blocks, I'll probably sash it with a different background color.
The following block is a leading reason I decided not to stay with green in every block. I really, really love the boldness of these fabrics together!
